Lorenzo Manti is an Associate Professor in Applied Physics at the Physics Department, University of Naples Federico II, Italy, where he graduated in Physics and then moved to the UK where he was awarded an MSc and a PhD, both in experimental Radiobiology. He has thereafter continued working in the field of Radiation Biophysics upon returning to his alma mater, with a focus on the biological effects of charged particle beams as used in hadrontherapy. Other research interests include radiosensitizing and radioprotecting strategies based on natural compounds, biomedical use of vibrational techniques and radiobiological properties of laser-driven charged particle beams. Recently, he has been working on the medical applications of proton-boron capture reactions as well as on the radiobiology of BNCT. He has been PI of several funded research projects. He has been President of the European Radiation Research Society (ERRS) and is currently President of the Italian Radiation Research Society (SIRR). As part of his academic duties, he has supervised almost 90 BSc and MSc students and tutored several PhD students.
